Piccup was designed to be the best boat that could slide into the bed of a pickup truck. Light enough to be loaded single handed to a cartop and can easily handle two adults. The multichine shape is very good in rough water and yet stable enough to walk around in. Cockpit has plenty of room to lie down in and carry your gear. There are buoyancy/storage chambers fore and aft.
Plans consist of blueprints and instructions for Stitch & Glue construction. Also included are plans for making your own oars. All plank and other part shapes are defined. Using the scale pattern dimensions given, parts are drawn directly onto the plywood sheets and cut out. Full-size patterns are not available nor required to build this model. No building jig necessary. 5 sheets of 1/4" plywood are required.
